Forgive me if these points have previously been discussed - If so just point me to the relevant reference - Thanks :-) !!!! Mercury version comparison Questions : 1.Can someone point me to a feature comparison between Merc32 and Merc NLM ? We have been using the NLM version with NW for a few years and feel it is time to review the situation. 2.From the posts to this newsgroup I get the following impressions are these correct ? : a.)Merc 32 is more widely used, b.)Merc 32 is more fully featured, and c.)Merc 32 's interface makes its easier to administer. 3. We would like the ability at the mercury level to filter / block mail similar to Pmail rules capability, I don't see that NLM can do this, can Merc 32 ?. 4. Will anything be lost going to Merc32 ? 5. Is Mercury NLM fading away and being replaced by Merc32 ? Our environment: We have a 200 user NW5 network. One NT server and a couple of NT workstations are on the network to run specific software that requires these platforms, so the need to run Merc 32 on a Microsoft platform vs. merc nlm in the NW environment should not be a barrier for us. All users run w95 / w98 or 2000 at the desktop and Pegasus as local transport and mercury for internet mail. We have a permanent ISP connection

I looked at the 2 products when I was leaving Connect2/MHS and chose Mercury32. I needed a full SMTP mail server, not just one that would relay to a smart host. The latest version supports MAPS and ORBS mail filtering and has extensive mail filtering rules capabilities. -- Michael Golden Country Hearth Bakery Lakeland, Florida To reply add bkb before usa.

Windows as a "server-OS" is always slower and more "power-consuming" than Unix or Novell or another non graphical OS. I hope there will be even in the future a mercury.nlm hopefully with IMAP and/or POP3 support. As well as this may be wishes.... Greetings Wolfgang Kantner

In spirit I agree, but alas I fear the handwriting is on the wall. It does break my heart as by training I am a CNE, but business realities have driven me into supporting the NT world.
